I'm not in a very good terms with my mom since young age (6yo onwards?) things get slightly better when I grew up (17yo onwards) n start t support myself financially and I think she realise the mistakes she made and hope for a better relationship. She's a very dedicated mom do all housework, cook for everyone, even lend me a few thousands to Pay my ($30k) Uni fees while I need t juggle my wedding n New Bto expenses. Now that I'm preggy, n I quit my job. Only my hub (not earning a lot) is supporting me. We decided not to hire any Confinement lady and ask my mom for help. She's willing to help. She's definitely experienced and know how to cook confinement food. However she stays in the west and I'm staying in north west. I know it's only right to allow her to sleep over thruout the confinement period rather than making her travel Everyday. 1) I'm worried we would clash again if she stay over. We have different views on confinement rules and the way t take care of babies. 2) my hub is not really comfortable having someone else in e house overnight. If you were me, what will u do?

Ask with your mom on what is her opinion. After all, she will be the one helping you. You need to know if she is willing to stay overnight at your place as some mothers don't like staying overnight elsewhere. If she is unwilling to stay over but she wishes to cook for you yet travelling is an issue, maybe you can call uber for her? There are plenty of promo codes for uber and grab. She will be able to rest during the journey meanwhile. Work things out to prevent miscommunication and tension between the both of you & your husband.
